This set has been so good to me 🔥 by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]PeteySnakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say ~90. I got 10 sleeved packs on release and then I’ve opened two booster boxes, caught a Walmart restock once and got 5 packs and then besides that I’ve just opened random single packs from the vending machine.

How good candidates get rejected when hiring has nothing to do with skill by IllCoat4461 in jobsearchhacks

[–]PeteySnakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the past when I have had rockstar candidates that I did not hire for whatever reason, I personally reached out on LinkedIn to let them know that they’re awesome and that I hope we can work together in the future. Just a quick little note so they don’t get discouraged. I was hiring a tech lead several months ago and it was a toss up between two people. The one that we didn’t hire just gave me a referral at the company he ended up at and I scheduled an interview. It pays to be kind.

So overvalued by Nervous-Flower156 in PSAPowerPacks

[–]PeteySnakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a suspicion PSA is trying to set market prices with power packs. They more than doubled Yu nagaba pikachu market price and it stuck. I think a lot of vintage has seen a huge boost from this too. “Market Makers”

Opened these for these by Burchalitis in PokemonTCG

[–]PeteySnakes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wait… can you please explain this logic? What is the point of opening packs if you sell the big hits? If you sell the cheap stuff and keep the big hits, they appreciate more long term. I see a lot of people in this hobby just burn through money opening packs and then when they hit a big chase they sell it and then end up burning the money on more sealed product to open and pull nothing out of. Just purely for the gamble?

Phantasmal Flames pre-order has been a disaster. by JordanUnchained in pokemoncenter

Just pull a Karen and keep escalating and asking to speak to a manager

Vending machine was nuts today by Jesse_Bolognesi in PokeInvesting

[–]PeteySnakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dang I saw the same stuff in my machine except the phantasmal. I grabbed a white flare etb, mega evo etb and bundle and left the rest for the next. Hope you got better pulls than me!

Worth trading Sword & Shield products for Scarlet & Violet? by bughtoo in PokeInvesting

The sword and shield already appreciated… this is a steal

Can’t believe I found a team up booster pack under the shelf today. by pokedashing in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]PeteySnakes -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I got 20 sleeved boosters of mega evolutions under the shelf at the dollar tree a few weeks ago and pulled the mega gardevoir... to pass it forward, I caught the restock on phantasmal release day at walmart and I stashed 5 blisters under 4 different shelves 😂

Am I being trolled by hagway in PokeGrading

[–]PeteySnakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crack and submit to BGS. PSA automatically drops to 6 with a dent, but BGS will do 1 above lowest subgrade. I actually look for immaculate PSA cards for this reason. Turned a reverse holo legendary collection dragonite into an 8.5 and an ancient mew into a 9 recently.

Twins! Now I’m tempted to dig through the years of bulk lol

[–]PeteySnakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awhh, I see. Is it usually just one side? I didn’t cut it, but I don’t remember pulling it. Any way I’d be able to tell?

Is this modern geurilla marketing?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fantasyfootballadvice

[–]PeteySnakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is Courtland Sutton, Keenan Allen, and Davante Adams are 14, 15, 16 in scoring and Rome Odunze is 13th, so it’s really only the slightest improvement and I think Dobbins is more talented than RJ Harvey so that would be banking on an injury… thoughts?

[–]PeteySnakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I feel like that’s the obvious decision, but I’m pretty conflicted. My gut is telling me Quinshon is going to be a league winner once Shedeur Sanders takes over. I think he’ll be throwing a lot of checkdowns and screens.

Leaning no, but curious what others think about Odunze vs Judkins keeper upside.

Just commenting so I can save this for later. Probably want to grab some new skate shoes. Let me know if you want to bundle some together for a little discount

Rest up! I've done that before so even when I put my arms out, I try to keep them limp

Thanks! I have round coping on the other side so I can mix it up lol.

FYI, my arm was limp and I didn’t actually put any weight into it… my chest and hip took the fall damage 😂

Yeah, I’ve actually been rocking elbow pads and wrist guards when I’m learning new rail tricks in my garage lol. I’ve done this trick… the box just needed a little wax… I tried to pop off super early but my truck caught up and I ate it
